Questions about Crop PDF
Frequently asked technical and operational questions about crop pdf.
How do I set custom margins when cropping a PDF?
Use the interactive visual preview box to drag crop borders, or enter exact point measurements for top, bottom, left, and right margins.
Does cropping permanently delete content outside the crop box?
Cropping adjusts the visible `/CropBox` and `/MediaBox` boundaries. If you need to permanently sanitize sensitive information outside the crop area, use Redact PDF instead.
Can I apply the same crop dimensions to all pages in a document?
Yes. You can apply the crop box to the current page or replicate the same margin trim across every page in your document.
